Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Costeño Beach over the next couple of weeks.
First up, the water is sitting at 80°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Alright, straight off the bat, the first few days are a bit of a write-off. The swell is there, between 6ft and 7ft from the NE, but the wind is cross-on, and it’s just choppy and messy. The combined swell energy is climbing from weak to moderate readings (335 to 505), but it doesn’t matter when the setup is this sloppy.
The first real standout comes on Thursday morning, the 10th of July. The wind drops out completely – glassy conditions – and the swell holds at a solid 8ft from the NE with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is a strong 891, and the wave comment is “expect very good surf conditions.” This is the best-looking session of the whole forecast. The offshore wind is glassy, the swell is consistent for a beach break, and the size is manageable for intermediates but still has some punch. The only bummer? This break is an exposed beach, and it can get crowded at times, so get there early.
Thursday afternoon has more glassy conditions with a 8ft, 10-second swell and even bigger energy at 925. That’s a real treat.
After that, we get a bit of a lull. The wind turns back to cross-on for a few days, and the surf gets smaller and more disorganised. There’s another window on Tuesday the 14th of July – Tuesday morning sees glassy conditions again, with 7ft NE swell and moderate energy (519). It’s a solid option, but not quite the peak of that 10th.
Wednesday the 15th of July also has glassy morning conditions with a 7ft NE swell and energy of 545. That’s a good, clean option for a mid-week paddle.
The rest of the run into the second week is mostly marginal – cross-on winds, choppy, with swell sizes from 6ft to 8ft but the quality just isn’t there. The bigger pulses on the 17th and 18th of July come with onshore or cross-on wind and “risk tstorm”, so they’re more of a mess.
For the standout, Thursday the 10th of July is your golden ticket. Glassy, 8ft NE swell, strong energy, and at a break that’s consistent. Crowds are possible, but that clean, head-high surf with no wind will be hard to beat.
Right, I’m out. Stay wet.
Rusty.

Information about the Costeño Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Costeño Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Costeño Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

If you surf the same spot (Costeño Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Costeño Beach may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
